My psychiatrist once said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone'.

I am no more humble than my talents require.

Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side.

A conductor should reconcile himself to the realization that regardless of his approach or temperament the eventual result is the same-the orchestra will hate him.
